BY JUSTIN MURDOCKE-J Sports Writer

MARVINAfter the first 30 seconds of Friday’s matchup be-

tween Marvin Ridge High and Central Cabarrus, it was evident the visiting Vikings were in for a long night.

Central Cabarrus fumbled the ball on its first play from scrimmage and the Mavericks responded by reaching the end zone on the very next play on a 22-yard run by senior tailback David Bryant.

Marvin Ridge never let up and cruised to a 48-0 vic-tory to improve to 4-0 on the season.

“We kind of set the tone pretty early, and I thought David made a great run on that touchdown,” said Mar-vin Ridge coach Scott Chadwick. “I thought we did a good job of knowing we were playing a team that we are definitely better than, but we still came out and played real hard and I was pleased with that.”

The Mavericks scored three more touchdowns in the second quarter, including the first on a 1-yard sneak by junior quarterback Tyler Chadwick.

On Marvin Ridge’s next possession, senior receiver Chris Ogbana caught a swing pass from Chadwick and raced down the right sideline for a 62-yard score.

Then, just before the half, Chadwick found senior wideout KJ Brent for a 31-yard touchdown pass to give the Mavs a 27-0 advantage. Brent, a 6-foot-4, 180-pounder who has committed to the University of South Carolina, finished with five catches for 96 yards.

“That was good to see and obviously we’re going to need him to be KJ for us to be really successful this season,” said Chadwick. “I thought he had a really productive night.”

Chadwick finished 18-of-23 for 268 yards and threw three touchdown passes. His final TD toss was a 10-yarder to senior tight end Tanner Hillis in the third quarter. Chadwick hit eight different receivers on the night.

“When we can spread the ball around, it makes a huge difference,” said Scott Chadwick. “It really re-opens things up for KJ when we can do that.”

The Mavericks got two rushing touchdowns from senior Kolly Ogar and freshman Jacob Henderson in the fourth quarter.

Bryant finished with eight carries for 103 yards, while Ogar had 52 yards on 10 attempts.

WHO’S NEWS

Bobcats bringing Miles to camp

CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Charlotte Bobcats will bring veteran forward Darius Miles to training camp with a

non-guaranteed contract as he attempts another comeback from a serious knee injury.

General manag-er Rod Higgins said Friday the former No. 3 overall draft pick will get a chance with after participating in

offseason workouts and summer-league practices with Charlotte.

The 28-year-old Miles was out of the league last season and has played spar-ingly since microfracture knee surgery in 2006. He’s also had legal problems and served a suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Miles could bring frontcourt depth to Charlotte, whose roster makeup remains uncertain depending on whether they trade or waive center Erick Dampier, who has a voidable contract.

Mount Airy pulls away after halftime

MOUNT AIRY — The Mount Airy High football team racked up 329 yards of total offense on its way to a 42-21 home win over Parkwood on Friday.

Locked in a 14-all tie at the half, Mount Airy scored four unanswered touchdowns to break the game open, including three in the third quarter.

Mount Airy receiver Jordan Schwartz caught five passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns to lead the victors. Schwartz also ran for a score.

For the Rebels (0-4), junior quarterback Chad McWhorter ran for two touchdowns in the first half and later found Tyrone Black for a 16-yard TD pass in the fourth quarter.

McWhorter finished with 92 yards passing and 72 yards rushing on 13 carries.

As a team, the Rebels had 113 yards rushing on 27 carries.

Parkwood plays at home against Northwest Cabarrus next Friday starting at 7:30 p.m.

Cuthbertson game to be played Monday

WAXHAW — Cuthbertson High’s football game at North Stanly, orig-inially scheduled for Friday, has been moved to Monday at 7:30 p.m., according to CHS athletic director David Malady.

Malady made the announcement by email and gave no details about why the game was postponed.

Weddington also had its Week 4 game postponed.

The Warriors will play at Ardrey Kell tonight at 7:00. All Mecklenburg County home games have been moved from Friday to Saturday in recognition of the Jewish holidays.

Vikings ‘need toget up to speed’

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have a lot of work to do. After dropping the season opener 14-9 in New Orleans, the Vikings returned home with a mix of frustration and confidence. Their biggest concern was a mostly flat performance by the offense, but they expressed optimism about their ability to recover from their first loss and get back on track.

Having missed QB Brett Favre for much of the preseason, the Vikings looked rusty. Favre said after the game he thought the timing was a little off.

Coach Brad Childress said Friday the Vikings “need to get up to speed in a heck of a hurry.”

Spartans’ pass rush gets Vance ‘out of sync’ BY JERRY SNOWE-J Sports Editor

omore quarterback for Vance High was sacked eight times by Sun Valley’s relentless defense on Friday night, and he was chopped to the ground another dozen times at least.

The Spartans’ pass rush was critical in a 33-19 win that not only keeps them unbeaten (3-0), but avenges last year’s 31-7 loss at Vance. “It’s a good win for us,” said Sun Valley coach Scott Stein. “Vance is so athletic and physical up front.”

MONROEThe Monroe High football

team used a 30-point second quarter to pull away for a 48-12 home victory over Central Academy in the Rocky River Conference opener for both teams Friday.

With the score at 6-all after the first frame, senior fullback Qwadarius Duboise found the end zone on a 37-yard run early in the second quarter.

Then with a few minutes before intermission, Monroe senior tailback Ricardo White scored on a 4-yard run to give his team a 20-6 lead.

Central Academy’s next series ended in a fumble, and Monroe senior Jamison Crowder took advantage.

Crowder, a Duke University commit, scooped up the loose ball and ran it in from 28 yards out to extend the advantage.

Crowder wasn’t done. On the very next offensive

play for the Cougars, Crowder intercepted Central Academy quarterback Jeremy Ferguson and turned it in to a 25-yard re-turn for a TD.

“They’re just plays that hap-pened to come my way at the right time,” said Crowder. “I knew I had to make plays and

What’s on tV?TOdAy

2B / Saturday, September 11, 2010 The Enquirer-Journal

CHARLOTTE (AP) — It’s been two years since Caro-lina Panthers receiver Steve Smith sucker-punched a teammate, was suspended for two games and stripped of his role as team captain.

Now the four-time Pro Bowl pick is determined to rein-vent himself — again. The oldest position player left on the NFL’s youngest team, Smith has regained his cap-taincy, vows to be a happier guy and even apologized for feuding with an opposing player, something as routine as acrobatic catches in his 10-year career.

“Just smile. I have these nice colorful braces. Just smile and have fun,” Smith said of his new philosophy. “Instead of frowning and get-ting upset, just smile and be glad at what’s going on.

“The season, it’s not per-manent or temporary, it kind of comes and goes. You can’t hang your hat on it too much. You can’t allow it to dig you down too much. The next thing you know it’s 10 games, or 10 years, and you haven’t enjoyed it as much.”

The New Steve, version 7.0

or so, might elicit chuckles from some who have closely followed the career of the speedy, tough, 5-foot-9 receiv-er. He talked at length about being concerned about his legacy in 2008, a week before he punched Ken Lucas in the face while Lucas was on one knee without his helmet dur-ing practice. It marked the second time in his career he was suspended for attacking a teammate.

Smith came to camp last year reflecting about turning 30 and the importance of be-coming a leader. Yet his teammates, still remembering the Lucas incident, didn’t vote him a captain, a position he held in 2007.

The 31-year-old Smith took over as one of Carolina’s union representatives this off-season and talked about the importance of planning for the future with labor uncer-tainty ahead. But then Smith inexplicably decided to play in a flag football league with weekend warriors in June and broke his left arm for the

second time in six months.Early in a training camp he

sat out because of the injury, Smith told Sports Illustrated he felt New York Giants safety Michael Johnson intentional-ly tried to break his arm in a late-season game last year and vowed, “I’m going after him” in Sunday’s season opener.

Johnson responded by asking reporters, “Who are you talking about, the Steve

Smith that went to the Pro Bowl?” It was

a reference to the Giants receiver by the same name who made the Pro Bowl last year, while Carolina’s

Smith didn’t.This was nothing

new for Smith, who has got-ten into tussles with numer-ous players over the years. The memory of Atlanta cor-nerback DeAngelo Hall’s com-plete meltdown while jawing with Smith in 2007 — getting 63 yards worth of penalties on one Carolina touchdown drive — remains fresh in many minds.

But this week Smith didn’t try to inflame the war of

words with Johnson. Far from it.

“A lot of times I walk around here and pump my chest out and that I want the respect of players and the realism of it is I have the respect of play-ers,” Smith said. “I just have to go out there and play.”

In case some didn’t under-stand Smith’s stance, he con-tinued his self criticism.

“Just being immature, my-self, just to be ignorant and frustrated,” he said. “I said that, and of course a guy has to respond. He’s trying to make a living. It’s not going to prove anything from my end to just go out there and just call him out. I can’t continue to be that way and I won’t be that way. To say that is just stupid.”

It’s the kind of comment a team leader, a captain might say. It’s the role Smith is ready to embrace again after a two-year absence. Teammates vot-ed him an offensive captain this week.

“I’m going to conduct my-self in a manner that contin-ues to earn the respect of my teammates,” Smith said, “and of my opponents as well.”

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Bra-dy walked into the New England Patriots locker room, his hair fashionably combed over his forehead in a Justin Bieber style as a pair of jeans, pre-ripped and faded, hung neatly over the back of his chair.

Even when it looks messy, everything is in place for the Patriots and their big-gest star.

The two-time Super Bowl MVP was back at practice Friday, a day after he followed an early morning car accident with a four-year contract extension that will make him the highest-paid player in the NFL. When it begins in 2011, the deal will pay him an average of $18 million

per season with a guar-antee of $48.5 million.

“Nobody deserves it more, and I’m happy for him,” receiver Wes Welk-er said Friday. “I’m happy he’s here, and I hope he’s here for a long time.”

Brady’s contract ex-tension, which had been in the works for months, was first reported by Sports Illustrated’s Peter King during halftime of NBC’s telecast of the Minne-sota-New Orleans game. Brady, who will make $6.5 million this season in the final

year of a six-year deal, declined to talk to reporters who approached him during Friday’s media availability.

Brady has not commented publicly since the two-car collision near his Back Bay home in which the other driver was cited for failure to stop at a red light.

A 49-year-old passenger of the other car had to be freed with the Jaws of Life and was taken to a hospital. Brady was examined by emergency personnel at the scene, but he arrived at Gillette Stadium in time for a 10:45 a.m. walk-through and afternoon practice in prep-aration for Sunday’s opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.

MARSHVILLEBerry Academy held off Forest Hills for

a 28-19 road win over Friday.The Yellow Jackets (1-3, 0-1 Rocky River

Conference) hurt themselves twice early in the game, turning the ball over to the Cardinals (3-0, 1-0 RRC) on both drives.

“We gave ourselves a chance, but we turned the ball over too much in the first half when we had opportunities,” said Jackets coach John Lowery. “Overall I’m pretty pleased with our kids. They just have to get well.”

The first fumble gave the Cardinals the ball on the Yellow Jackets’ 22-yard line, tak-ing eight plays to get in the end zone for the first score of the game.

The second fumble was in Cardinals’ territory, but FH’s defense shut them down for a three-and-out.

Lamar Anderson broke through the line and blocked the punt, with Darius Ellison coming in behind for the recovery at the Cardinals’ 6-yard line.

Labryan Chambers punched in a 1-yard touch-down on fourth-and-goal, two plays after hooking up with Jamal Little on a 21-yard pass on second and goal after a fumbled snap had pushed the Jackets back.

The kick gave the Jackets their only lead of the game at 7-6 with 1:55 left in the first quarter.

Berry came right back and scored quickly on a 56-yard pass from Kenny Patterson to Quincy Ekechuk. They also accounted for the two-point conversion for a 14-7 lead with 10.3 seconds left in the first.

That would not be the end of the scoring, though, as Anderson received the kickoff at his 17-yard line and ran left across the field, finding a hole and bursting down the right sideline for an 87-yard touchdown as time expired. The extra point, though, was blocked.

The Cardinals scored on their first posses-sion of the second quarter with Patterson finding Majeed Nasif for a 27-yard touch-down down the middle of the Yellow Jack-ets zone.

Anderson had another big play, intercept-ing a pass to halt the Cardinalls’ drive as they passed into Forest Hills territory.

The Jackets’ defense opened the second half with a three-and-out and this time the offense turned it on, driving 53 yards for a TD with Chambers capping the drive with a 5-yard run. But a failed run for the two-point conversion left them down by two.

The Cardinals took 13 plays and the last half of the third quarter to score an insur-ance touchdown, with Gerome Hopper going the final 5 yards. The Jackets got into Cardi-nals’ territory twice in the fourth quarter, but could not get in either time. Ellison had seven tackles, a punt block recovery, a sack and a tackle for loss to lead FH.

the backfield and keep the elusive Latter from getting comfortable.

“We needed to have our defensive linemen dominate and get to the quar-terback,” Stein said. “I thought we rat-tled him early. We showed them some different looks and it worked for us. I thought our pass rush got them out of sync.”

Curt Stone, a 6-foot, 220-pound nose tackle, had three sacks for the Spar-tans. Junior Eddie Kelly (6-2, 265) and senior Niko Rhynes (5-11, 200) had two sacks each, and linebackers Austin Smith and Bobby Viehmeyer had one sack each.

“Eight sacks is a lot,” Stein said. “Curt Stone is a dominant force. It’s been a tough-luck kid with some inju-ries, but when he’s healthy, he’s tough to block. Curt’s a strong kid, very strong, and he runs well, too.”

Stone said the Spartans used a va-riety of stunts and blitzes to keep the Cougars off balance.

“We have this one particular play, we call it Colt House, that’s when we stunt,” Stone said. “We got some stuff out of that.”

The Spartans outgained Vance 212-46 in the first half, but led just 12-6 at the break.

Vance rallied to tie the game at 19 on a 67-yard pass play from Latter to Mi-chael Neal on a third down and 19 with 9:27 left in the fourth.

The Spartans responded by scoring on their next two possessions.

Sophomore receiver Chris Duffy scored what proved to be the game-winning touchdown on a 36-yard re-ception from Ryan Smith that capped a 65-yard drive.

Duffy sprinted the left sideline and made a leaping grab between two de-fenders.

“Our quarterback put it where we could get it and our athlete went up and got the ball,” Stein said. “It was great to see Chris make a big play like that.”

Smith finished 15-for-25 with four touchdown passes and one intercep-tion. He threw for a pair of touch-downs in the first quarter to help his team build a 12-0 lead, hitting Jody

Fuller on a slant for a 67-yard score on the third play of the game.

Tight end Steven Cole added a 20-yard TD reception with 1:29 left in the first quarter, absorbing a big hit at the goal line as he caught the ball.

After Duffy’s TD put Sun Valley ahead 26-19, the defense forced a three-and-out and a 20-yard punt gave SV the ball at Vance’s 38.

The Spartans chewed up the clock with a 10-play drive, kept alive when Smith ran for 10 yards on a fourth-and-8.

Junior tailback Jadarrius Williams capped the drive with a 4-yard TD run on fourth-and-1.

Williams was the workhorse, gain-ing 133 yards on 27 carries.

“Jadarrius is a warrior,” Stein said.Fuller gave the Spartans a 19-6 lead

midway through the third quarter on a 28-yard TD catch.

Fuller, a highly-recruited junior, caught four passes for 116 yards and two scores.

Sun Valley outgained the Cougars 375-191 on the night.

“We’re playing as a team,” Stone said. “We’re still coming together. We’re not all the way there yet, but we’re getting there.”

The Spartans play at Asheville next Friday.

Bowyer needs to finish in top 28 to make chaseRICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Clint

Bowyer is the only driver on the bubble of making the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, and with a comfortable margin in the standings, he needs only to avoid a catastrophe at Rich-mond International Raceway to clinch his spot in the field.

“Man, I’ll tell you, with a 117-point lead, that’s a pretty good pad,” Bowyer said Friday of his cushion over 13th-place driver Ryan Newman.

So Bowyer wasn’t very wor-ried about Saturday night’s race. He needs only to finish 28th or better at one of his best race tracks to wrap up the last spot in the 12-driver Chase field.

Barring a mechanical failure or a fluke accident, it should be

sailing for a driver who has nev-er finished lower than 18th in nine career starts at Richmond. He refused to dwell on the poten-tial pratfalls that could derail his season.

“Anything can happen at any time. You can get run over cross-ing the street,” he said. “That’s what I tell people every time I get on my Harley and they whine about riding a motorcycle. I say, ’Hey, you can die walking across the street just as easily.’ “

Bowyer has teetered around the bottom of the top 12 the last few months, and was actually in the 13th-spot just a month ago. He bounced back from a pit-road penalty at Bristol to finish fourth, and overcame an ill-handling race car at Atlanta last

weekend to finish seventh.Those are the performances

that have Bowyer feeling confi-dent headed into tonight’s cru-cial race.

“Last week was a very, very important week for us,” Bowyer said. “We struggled big-time in the middle part of that race and were able to come back and get a top-10 fin-ish and, more importantly, put some more points between them and us. That was a big, big sigh of relief.”

There are several scenarios

that will get Bowyer into the field, but the only thing he needs to focus on is simply running a clean race. If he does that, it won’t matter what Newman or Jamie McMurray or Mark Mar-tin does because they won’t be able to take that final spot away from Bowyer.

Richard Childress Racing teammate Jeff Burton said Bowyer has the right frame of mind.

“He is very relaxed and look-ing forward to this weekend. He feels like he’s in good posi-tion,” Burton said. “He’s real-ly the only one with something to lose this week and he has to understand the situation he’s in. They have to avoid disaster. If they avoid disaster, they will

be just fine.“You’ve got to watch the posi-

tions you get yourself in and con-trol everything you can control, and Clint is really good at doing that. He’s very focused on what he needs to do, so I don’t think it’s going to be a problem.”

Bowyer has made the Chase twice before, in 2007 and 2008. He’s got one win at Richmond, and four top 10s in his nine ca-reer Cup starts on the 0.75-mile oval.

“I’ve been in this deal before, I know when to be nervous and when not to, and it’s still time to be nervous,” Bowyer said. “It’s a good feeling going in with a 100-point lead. Anything can happen but the odds are in our favor.”

Piratescontinued from page 1B

Porter Ridge scored on its first three possessions of the game. After Oakley opened the scoring on a 21-yard pass from junior quarterback Lee McNeill, senior running back Javonte Truesdale increased the lead with a 5-yard run off the left side. Oakley followed with a reverse that he turned into a 21-yard touchdown run.

PR coach Blair Hardin said his team’s ability to communi-cate with each other has been a major reason behind the Pi-rates’ recent offensive explo-sion. Porter Ridge is averaging more than 40 points in its four wins this season.

“The big thing that we preach to our kids is to communicate, execute and play fast,” said Hardin, who is in his third year at Porter Ridge. “When they communicate, they can execute. And then they play fast.”

Although Porter Ridge scored in every quarter Friday, including back-to-back touch-down catches from Jordan

VanBeek, the Pirates turned the ball over three times and had two penalties for unsports-manlike conduct.

“We must improve in block-ing, tackling and protecting the football,” said Hardin. “If we are not going to do that, we are going to struggle, and our conference is too good for that.”

The Pirate defense held the Raiders to just one first down while limiting them to 47 yards rushing and 35 yards passing.

Porter Ridge led 35-0 at half-time, and the big lead had the referees running the clock for the entire second half. The comfortable advantage also allowed Hardin to go to his bench. Porter Ridge had seven players rush for a combined 310 yards on 29 carries. Reserve running back Najee Davis ran for a score in the fourth quar-ter, while Calvin Lee ran for 47 yards on five carries in the final period.

“It’s a positive because those guys practice hard,” said Har-din of the reserve players. “It’s good to see them come in and produce for us.”

Porter Ridge plays at Hicko-ry Ridge next Friday.

Berry dropsForest Hills’record to 1-3

ATLANTA (AP) — The Braves are still in second place, yet feeling a whole lot better after rallying against Chris Carpenter and the St. Louis Cardinals.

Atlanta scored six runs in the sixth inning, sending 10 hitters to the plate and taking advantage of a dropped fly ball by right fielder Jon Jay to rally for a much-needed 8-5 victory Friday.

“That was huge,” said Brooks Con-rad, who sparked the big inning with a pinch-hit single. “Every one from here on out is huge. Now we’re look-ing to string a few together.”

The Braves appeared headed for their seventh loss in nine games when they fell behind 4-1 in the fourth. They gave up a two-run homer to Matt Hol-liday and a two more RBIs to Carpen-ter, who began the night hitting .098 but had a run-scoring single and the second homer of his career batting in the eighth spot.

Carpenter (15-6) couldn’t back up his good work at the plate. The Braves closed to 4-2 in the fourth on Brian McCann’s run-scoring single, then knocked out the St. Louis starter in the sixth.

Atlanta remained one game behind NL East-leading Philadelphia, which beat the New York Mets 8-4. St. Louis stayed five games behind Cincinnati in the NL Central.

“It was a great comeback against a great pitcher,” Braves manager Bob-by Cox said. “We’ve just been on this little losing streak, and we needed to snap it.”

Conrad got it started with the first of four straight hits off Carpenter. Ja-son Heyward yanked an RBI single to right and Martin Prado doubled to tie the game at 4.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A lot has happened in the eight years since Mi-ami and Ohio State met under a pan-oramic desert sky in an unforgettable national championship game.

The teams have a lot of catching up to do on Saturday, when the 12th-ranked Hurricanes visit Columbus and No. 2 Ohio State.

Some of the ’Canes, including most of their alumni, have never really got-ten over the 31-24 loss in double overtime on Jan. 3, 2003, at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Ariz.

“That seems to be their theme for this game — it’s a revenge game,” Buckeyes tight end Jake Stoneburner said. “Some guys said they’ve been waiting since they were, like, 10 years old to come back and beat Ohio State, show them who the real team is.”

The Hurricanes lost a bit of their swagger that night, dropped out of the national picture briefly, and now are itching to get back to being the most intimidating and feared program in the country.

“Everyone in the UM family, they want this win badly,” cornerback Bran-don Harris said. “And so do we.”

Controversy still shadows the game after all this time.

In the first overtime, the ’Canes were already on the field celebrating their second straight national championship after stopping Ohio State on a fourth-down play. All of a sudden, at the far corner of the field, official Terry Por-

ter waited several seconds before calling pass interference on a

Miami defender.That yellow flag kept Ohio

State alive. Freshman tail-back Maurice Clarett, who would never play another collegiate game, scored on a 5-yard burst over the middle

in the second overtime for the winning points. Miami quarterback Ken Dorsey’s pass fell incomplete at the end, sealing the Buckeyes’ first na-tional championship in 34 years.

The Buckeyes celebrated long and hard after that victory over Miami, but they also have a ledger to balance in this game.

They have been consistently strong

every year since. Twice they’ve made it to BCS title games, and both times they’ve been beaten badly. They’ve also lost high-profile, early season matchups against other heavyweights (Southern California, Texas). They want to prove that the victory against Miami was not a fluke, that they belong among the na-tion’s elite programs.

“We want people to see that we are one of the best teams in the country,” Stoneburner said. “We relish the spotlight. Over the past few years, we haven’t done too well (in major non-confer-ence games) but this is a dif-ferent team.”

The Buckeyes think the rest of the nation is quick to dismiss them after being dis-mantled in national title games in 2006 (by Florida) and 2007 (by LSU).

“Ohio State gets talked down upon quite often,” safety Jermale Hines said. “It’s hard not to see it with all the media now. Guys say they’re going to block that out. We’re going to play foot-ball. We count on the guys in the room in this facility. That’s the only thing

that matters.”Miami doesn’t believe it gets much

respect, either.“They say we’re 10-point underdogs,”

wide receiver LaRon Byrd said. “Guess we have to prove them wrong.”

The game will pit two solid, hard-hit-ting defenses, along with offenses that feature Heisman candidates. The Hur-ricanes’ Jacory Harris likes nothing more than beating a secondary deep.

The Buckeyes’ Terrelle Pryor can fling the ball or sprint out of

the pocket to gain yards.The rematch is a hot tick-

et, that’s for sure. Pryor said he’s been besieged by people asking for some help getting in.

“People come out the wood-work,” he said with a laugh.

“I’m not even sure if I know every-body who texts my phone.”

Byrd spoke for a lot of current and former players on both sides of rivalry.

“I heard it’s going to be rockin’,” he said of Ohio Stadium, expected to be jammed with more than 105,000 fans. “I’m ready for the challenge. Bring ’em on.”

I was able to help the team get a little cush-ion on the score.”

Crowder also pulled down 5 catches for 73 yards.

“He did what he nor-mally does,” said Monroe coach Johnny Sowell on Crowder’s performance. “He is willing to get out there and do the things to help the team.”

Duboise finished with 133 rushing yards and two touchdowns on eight

carries, while White added 48 yards on the ground.

Sowell finished the night 10-of-19 for 180 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.

The Cougars were led by junior Mitch Blackburn, who had 89 yards rushing, and Chris Hailey, who had 63 rushing yards and a TD. Jeremy Ferguson scored the first TD of the game for the Cougars on a 6-yard run in the first quarter.

Both teams will be in action next Friday. Central Academy is at home against Berry while Mon-roe travels to Piedmont.

Monroe senior Jamison Crowder (6) scored two defensive TDs Friday, including one on a fumble return and one on an interception return.

LEMONT, Ill. (AP) — Matt Kuchar was feeling terrible and playing even worse. He man-aged to hold himself together long enough Friday to salvage a 1-over 72 and share the lead with Charlie Wi in the BMW Championship.

Kuchar made four bogeys through eight holes to tumble down the leaderboard, then ral-lied with five birdies over his last 10 holes to catch Wi, who played in the morning and shot a 69.

They were at 6-under 136 and had a one-shot lead over Marc Leishman of Australia, whose 65 was the best of the day on a Cog Hill course that was getting

a steady stream of criticism.Tiger Woods, the defending

champion and a five-time win-ner at Cog Hill, was resigned to the fact that the greens were not pure. He didn’t make very many putts, threw in a double bogey for the second straight day and shot a 72, leaving him in a tie for 40th, nine shots be-hind.

It was the first time Woods opened with consecutive rounds over par at Cog Hill since he was an 18-year-old amateur.

“I made nothing today,” he said. “I hit the ball a hell of a lot better than my score indi-cates.”

The only score that matters

— along with the number on his card — is his rank in the FedEx Cup standings. Woods is No. 51 and needs to finish around fifth at Cog Hill week to qualify for the Tour Championship in two weeks.

Kuchar already has reserva-tions at East Lake. He is No. 1 in the standings having won the playoff opener, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s tied for the lead going into the weekend.

How much longer he lasts re-mains the question.

Kuchar, who first thought he had laryngitis, isn’t sure wheth-er he has a viral or bacterial in-fection. All he knows is that he barely had enough strength to

stay upright in warm afternoon temperatures, much less con-centrate on the shot at hand.

“I was as weak as I could be,” Kuchar said. “I tried for the four or five seconds over the ball to flip the switch on and really give it what I had, and go back to walking around without a whole lot of energy.”

His rally began with a birdie on the ninth hole, and it really took off on the par-3 12th with a 30-foot birdie putt. That was the start of five consecutive one-putt greens — four birdies, and a stout par on the 14th when he got up-and-down from a sidehill lie outside the bunker.

“That kind of made me feet

a little better again, seeing the putt go in,” Kuchar said of the birdie on No. 12. “I knew that some good things would hap-pen if I could just kind of hang in there the best I could.”

Wi refused to let one blunder ruin his day. He reached 8 under for the tournament until hook-ing a 3-wood on the 16th hole into a hazard, failing to reach the green and three-putting for triple bogey when he finally did. He bounced back with a birdie on the next hole.

Wi is No. 37 in the standings and is closer than ever to his first Tour Championship, which comes with a spot in three of the majors.

Kuchar holds it together, leads at Cog Hill

PanthersContinued from Page 1B

“We weren’t looking for-ward and we weren’t looking behind,” said Ambrose. “We were focused on this game and the boys did what we needed them to do. That’s all there is to it.”

On the other side of the ball, Piedmont’s defense was shutting down everything.

“We challenged them.” said Ambrose. “We told them, ‘Get down, wrap up, get the tackles.’ And they shut them down and I’m proud of them.”

The Panthers held Union Academy to just 15 total yards in the second half.

The Cardinals had only 77 yards on the ground all game.

“We knew they had three guys with 100-yard games, and we take that personally.” said Ambrose.

Piedmont hosts Monroe next Friday.

Culliver cleared to play for USC

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina corner-back Chris Culliver and left tackle Jarriel King have been cleared to play in the team’s SEC opener against Georgia.

Athletic spokesman Steve Fink said Friday that Culliver and King have been cleared by the NCAA. The school has not said what questions were being reviewed regard-ing Culliver and King, who missed the season-opening 41-13 victory over Southern Mississippi be-cause of concerns about their eligibility.
